ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2006

150 participants

Abstract

To determine whether a single dose of intravenous lornoxicam is superior to intravenous placebo for the acute treatment of moderate or severe headache associated with a single migraine attack in patients with a history of migraine. Two-thirds of patients in this study will receive a single dose of intravenous lornoxicam (8mg or 16 mg) and one-third of patients will receive a single dose of an intravenous placebo.

Conditions: Headache (Migraine).

Primary outcome: Assessment of headache pain intensity over 24 hours after treatment, rated on a categorical scale of 0-3 and a visual analog scale (VAS)..

Enrollment: 150 participants.
